RF Switch Connector

摘要

A RF switch connector includes: a housing; and a switch unit mounted in the housing. The switch unit includes a fixed terminal having a first contactor formed on the fixed terminal, and a switchable terminal having a second contactor formed on a switch lever cantileverably linked to the switchable terminal and resiliently urged by a spring retained in the housing to allow the second contactor to be normally contacted with the first contactor to form a closed circuit between the fixed terminal and the switchable terminal, and having a third contactor protruding upwardly from the switch lever. Upon an insertion of a plug of a mating connector into said housing to downwardly depress the third contactor, the third contactor will be contacted with the plug to externally connect an external signal source through the mating connector.

1. A Radio Frequency (RF) switch connector comprising: a housing mounted on a circuit board; and at least a switch unit mounted in the housing;
said switch unit including: a fixed terminal; a switchable terminal juxtapositioned to said fixed terminal; an outer cup encasing said fixed terminal and said switchable terminal in the outer cup; an inner cup cylindrically disposed within the outer cup for retaining a spring in said inner cup and having an annular slot defined between the outer and inner cups; with said fixed terminal and said switchable terminal juxtapositionally received in the annular slot; and a pusher member slidably held in the inner cup and resiliently retained on the spring to normally urge said switchable terminal to be contacted with said fixed terminal to normally form a closed circuit on the circuit board; whereby upon an insertion of a plug of a mating connector into said housing to downwardly depress said switchable terminal, said switchable terminal will be operatively disconnected from said fixed terminal and said switchable terminal will be operatively contacted with the plug to externally connect an external signal source through the mating connector.
